they have a laughable tpi, which is why people go through them so quickly.

for reference the zaffiros are 26 tpi; the diamante pros i am fond of are 220 tpi.

The wife's uncle works for Portland Housing Authority and brings home a few bikes a month! He's got some pretty nice 80's Japan made steel road bikes that re pretty mint condition. When people die/leave, etc, they leave a bunch of crap behind- mostly porno mags though
